Furthernors, We learn from this story the
propriety of laying up for the futurs Dur
ing seven years OF plenty Joseph prepared for
the famine, and when it came he had q
crowded storeboass. The LIE sf nlsst men
IA . worldly respect 10 divided into years Of
plenty and fanlna IL Is seldom that ANY
man passes through life without at least seven
years II plenty During thess seven prosper
ons years your business bears rich harvest
You hardly know where all the mcnsy comes
from, n CONES 30 fast Every bargain you
make seems 70 turn into geld You contract
few bai dsbta You are astoanded with
large dividsnds Yoa invest more and more
capital You wonder how n,cn can be con-
tent with small business, gathering IN only
500 where you reap your thousands. These
are the seven years Of plenty. Now, Joseph,
u the time 20 prepare for famine, for to al
most every man there do come seven years
Of famine. You vii be sick; you viii bs un-
fortunats; you viii be defrsuded; you viii 10
disappointed; you ~ll be old, and II you
have no ssorehoase upon which 10 fall
back you may be famine struck We
have no admiration for this denying
ones self os all prescat comfort and luxury
Tor the mere pleasure Of boarding MP, this
graspiag for the mere pleasure Of seeing how
large pils YOU can get. this always being
poor and oramped, because soon as a dol
lar comes in it is ssnt out 10 IL il can't find
another dollar TO carry home on rs back; but
there IS an intelligent and noble minded fore
cast which We love 20 see IN men who havs
families and kindred dependent upon them
for the blessings OF education and home God
sends us a. the insects for q lesson, which,
while they do not stint themselves in
the present, do not forget their duty
20 forestsu the future. go TO the
ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways and
b wise, which, having no guide, overseer or
ruler, provicetb her meat in the summer and
gathereth her food In the harvest" Now
there are two ways Of laying up money; the
one by investing It in stock and depositing it
IL banks and leaning 1t on bond or mort
gage. The other way Of laying up money is
giving i. away. He is the safest who makes
both of these investments But the man who
devotes none OF his gain 70 the cause Of
Christ and thinks only Of his own comfort
and luxury, Is not safe, / don't care how his
money is invested He acted as the roSe il
IL should say; II will hold my breath and no
one shall have snatch OF fragrance from
me until next week, and then l will set all
the garden afioat with the aroma" The time
comes but having been without fragrance for
so long, IL has nothing to give. But above all
lay up treasures in heaven. They never deprs-
eiate IN value. They never are at discount
They are always available. You may feel
safe now with your present yearly income
but what viii such an income be worth after
you are deadl Others viii get it. Perhaps
some Of them will quarrel about it before
you are buried They will be right glad that
you are dead. They are only waiting for
you TO die. What then will all your accu-
mutation be worth if you could gather it all
into your bosom and walk up with it into
heavens gatei IL would not purchase your
admission; or, II allowed 10 enter, it could
not buy you a crown or a robe, and the poor
est saint IN heaven would look down and say:
.Where did that pauper come FRONT"
Finally, learn from this subject that In
every famine there Is a storehousa Up the
long row Of building piled 10 the very roof
with.corn, come the hungry multitudes. and
Joseph commanded that their sacks and their
wagons be hlled. The world has been blasted
Every green thing has witbered under the
touch Of sin From ali continents and islands
and zones comes up the groan Of dying mill
ions. Over tropical spice groves and Siberian
ice hut and Hindoo jungle the blight has
fallen. The famine is universal. But. glory
be 10 God there is great storebouse. Jesus
Christ, our elder brother, this day bids us
come in from our hunger and beggary and
obtain infr-s supplies o< gracs enough to
make us rich forever Many of you have
for long while been smitten Of the
famine. The world has not stilled the
throbbing Of your spirit Your conscience
somstimes rouses you up with such sud-
dennsss and strength that il requires the most
gigantic determination 10 queIl the disturb
ancs Your courage quakes at the thought
Of the futnre Oh why will you tarry amid
the blsstings OF the famine when zach .
glorious storshouse Is open in Gods meTcyi
Ys wrstched, hungry, starving poor,
Behold royal feast.
Where mercy spreads her soustsous store
For every humble guest
See. Jesus stands with opsn arrna
He calls. he bids you come.
Cunt holds yoa hack sad fear slsrns
But see. there Jet Is room
